This is a wrapper around smp_rendezvous_cpus which enables use of IPI
handlers which can fail and require retrying.
wait_func argument is added to to provide a routine which can be used to
poll CPU of interest for when the IPI can be retried.
Handlers which succeed must call smp_rendezvous_cpus_done to denote that
fact.

A variant of this facility was already used by rmlocks where IPIs would
enforce ordering.
This allows to elide fences where they are rarely needed and the cost of
IPI (should it be necessary) is cheaper.

IPI_STOP is used after panic or when ddb is entered manually. MONITOR/
MWAIT allows CPUs that support the feature to sleep in a low power way
instead of spinning. Something similar is already used at idle.
It is perhaps especially useful in oversubscribed VM environments, and is
safe to use even if the panic/ddb thread is not the BSP. (Except in the
presence of MWAIT errata, which are detected automatically on platforms with
known wakeup problems.)
It can be tuned/sysctled with "machdep.stop_mwait," which defaults to 0
(off). This commit also introduces the tunable
"machdep.mwait_cpustop_broken," which defaults to 0, unless the CPU has
known errata, but may be set to "1" in loader.conf to signal that mwait
wakeup is broken on CPUs FreeBSD does not yet know about.
Unfortunately, Bhyve doesn't yet support MONITOR extensions, so this doesn't
help bhyve hypervisors running FreeBSD guests.

restart_cpus() worked well enough by accident. Before this set of fixes,
resume_cpus() used the same cpuset (started_cpus, meaning CPUs directed to
restart) as restart_cpus(). resume_cpus() waited for the wrong cpuset
(stopped_cpus) to become empty, but since mixtures of stopped and suspended
CPUs are not close to working, stopped_cpus must be empty when resuming so
the wait is null -- restart_cpus just allows the other CPUs to restart and
returns without waiting.
Fix resume_cpus() to wait on a non-wrong cpuset for the ACPI case, and
add further kludges to try to keep it working for the XEN case. It
was only used for XEN. It waited on suspended_cpus. This works for
XEN. However, for ACPI, resuming is a 2-step process. ACPI has already
woken up the other CPUs and removed them from suspended_cpus. This
fix records the move by putting them in a new cpuset resuming_cpus.
Waiting on suspended_cpus would give the same null wait as waiting on
stopped_cpus. Wait on resuming_cpus instead.
Add a cpuset toresume_cpus to map the CPUs being told to resume to keep
this separate from the cpuset started_cpus for mapping the CPUs being told
to restart. Mixtures of stopped and suspended/resuming CPUs are still far
from working. Describe new and some old cpusets in comments.
Add further kludges to cpususpend_handler() to try to avoid breaking it
for XEN. XEN doesn't use resumectx(), so it doesn't use the second
return path for savectx(), and it goes from the suspended state directly
to the restarted state, while ACPI resume goes through the resuming state.
Enter the resuming state early for all cases so that resume_cpus can test
for being in this state and not have to worry about the intermediate
!suspended state for ACPI only.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification

opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,

Not only this lock doesn't play any role here, dirtying it slows down
other things a little bit as giant-held checks (e.g. DROP_GIANT) are

On several Intel chipsets, diagnostic NMIs sent from BMC or NMIs
reporting hardware errors are broadcasted to all CPUs.
When kernel is configured to enter kdb on NMI, the outcome is
problematic, because each CPU tries to enter kdb. All CPUs are
executing NMI handlers, which set the latches disabling the nested NMI
delivery; this means that stop_cpus_hard(), used by kdb_enter() to
stop other cpus by broadcasting IPI_STOP_HARD NMI, cannot work. One
indication of this is the harmless but annoying diagnostic "timeout
stopping cpus".
Much more harming behaviour is that because all CPUs try to enter kdb,
and if ddb is used as debugger, all CPUs issue prompt on console and
race for the input, not to mention the simultaneous use of the ddb
shared state.
Try to fix this by introducing a pseudo-lock for simultaneous attempts
to handle NMIs. If one core happens to enter NMI trap handler, other
cores see it and simulate reception of the IPI_STOP_HARD. More,
generic_stop_cpus() avoids sending IPI_STOP_HARD and avoids waiting
for the acknowledgement, relying on the nmi handler on other cores
suspending and then restarting the CPU.
Since it is impossible to detect at runtime whether some stray NMI is
broadcast or unicast, add a knob for administrator (really developer)
to configure debugging NMI handling mode.
The updated patch was debugged with the help from Andrey Gapon (avg)
and discussed with him.

Previously, the code determined a topology of processing units
(hardware threads, cores, packages) and then deduced a cache topology
using certain assumptions. The new code builds a topology that
includes both processing units and caches using the information
provided by the hardware.
At the moment, the discovered full topology is used only to creeate
a scheduling topology for SCHED_ULE.
There is no KPI for other kernel uses.
Summary:
- based on APIC ID derivation rules for Intel and AMD CPUs
- can handle non-uniform topologies
- requires homogeneous APIC ID assignment (same bit widths for ID
components)
- topology for dual-node AMD CPUs may not be optimal
- topology for latest AMD CPU models may not be optimal as the code is
several years old
- supports only thread/package/core/cache nodes
Todo:
- AMD dual-node processors
- latest AMD processors
- NUMA nodes
- checking for homogeneity of the APIC ID assignment across packages
- more flexible cache placement within topology
- expose topology to userland, e.g., via sysctl nodes
Long term todo:
- KPI for CPU sharing and affinity with respect to various resources
(e.g., two logical processors may share the same FPU, etc)

there is an environment variable which shall initialize the SYSCTL
during early boot. This works for all SYSCTL types both statically and
dynamically created ones, except for the SYSCTL NODE type and SYSCTLs
which belong to VNETs. A new flag, CTLFLAG_NOFETCH, has been added to
be used in the case a tunable sysctl has a custom initialisation
function allowing the sysctl to still be marked as a tunable. The
kernel SYSCTL API is mostly the same, with a few exceptions for some
special operations like iterating childrens of a static/extern SYSCTL
node. This operation should probably be made into a factored out
common macro, hence some device drivers use this. The reason for
changing the SYSCTL API was the need for a SYSCTL parent OID pointer
and not only the SYSCTL parent OID list pointer in order to quickly
generate the sysctl path. The motivation behind this patch is to avoid
parameter loading cludges inside the OFED driver subsystem. Instead of
adding special code to the OFED driver subsystem to post-load tunables
into dynamically created sysctls, we generalize this in the kernel.
Other changes:
- Corrected a possibly incorrect sysctl name from "hw.cbb.intr_mask"
to "hw.pcic.intr_mask".
- Removed redundant TUNABLE statements throughout the kernel.
- Some minor code rewrites in connection to removing not needed
TUNABLE statements.
- Added a missing SYSCTL_DECL().
- Wrapped two very long lines.
- Avoid malloc()/free() inside sysctl string handling, in case it is
called to initialize a sysctl from a tunable, hence malloc()/free() is
not ready when sysctls from the sysctl dataset are registered.
- Bumped FreeBSD version to indicate SYSCTL API change.
